Please no more burgers… the shower hates me.

It I a strange situation when the loving age old food of burger, supplying both carbohydrates and meat becomes something that is loathed. With my recent workload I have spent quite a reasonable amount of time on campus working, naturally becoming hungry. So far Last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and this Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday I have gifted The Campbell in Coventry with my presence and money each time eating a burger. Although very good and ncie quality, afetr that many in a row they start to haunt you, so luckily when friday rolled around i had something lovingly prepared by mother, mexian spiced chicken and peppers with wild rice :D

My week started off pretty averagely waking up, panicking at the volume of my workload which kept me perpetually stressed for most of the week. Monday night I graced the Campbell again with my presence in honour of my dear friend Rafael who had come back from Spain for a few days. It was so much fun laughing and joking, specifically gossiping about my recent developments in my personal life i.e. coming out etc. and the night ended just like any other a bit more to drink that expected. It was a very enjoyable night both with friends and alcohol and looking at some of the nice attractive people around and playing guess the orientation, one of which I’m sure noticed me looking both this week and last: P

Tuesday after my morning shower and before university during leaving the shower the stop button decided to fire its self across the room narrowing missing my head, bouncing off the mirror and falling into the bath. I’m not quite sure what caused the revenge of the shower but it led to me having baths for the rest of the week. Baths are weird I allocate enough time to get up and shower before leaving but baths just seem to be as good as bed, you lie there and never want to move.

Friday was the 21st annual creation day of a close best friend, which resulted in playing games such as ring of fire and eating food. I found it slightly nerve racking and anxious because of my recent personal situations changing i tend to be a bit more ‘out’ about things now and was concerned how my older circle of friends would react to this, but it seemed to go well and was a lovely evening. Despite getting in at 4 (almost the same as a rainbows night) and then having work all day, but luckily I still had quite a few more blood cells than alcohol compared with my normal nights out.

So we come to the end of my week and all my university work for the term has been handed In now leading me to have till the 16th to write my entire dissertation :), I am so focusing on my last exam for when I finally finish my course, I’ve been doing education for too long. I’m currently musing at work about why people seem to have a ‘mannerotomy’ and fail to understand that for an extra little world ill smile back rather than thinking there a complete waste of carbon and oxygen. Still it is a university I shouldn’t set my hopes to high; when we have a 3rd year student unable to burn files on to a CD.

Until next week xA

Eddie Iz Running and Tidy Poltergeists

It’s been a while since i wrote one of these.

I have not really seen my family since Tuesday; i keep coming in after they have gone to bed and leaving before they wake up. I’m pretty sure my family are in the same house as me still. It’s like having tidy poltergeists, things keep getting washed up, tidied up and put away but I never see it being done. By night I exist, by day they do.

Although last night I finally saw my family, Last night I was really wound up and stressed, to an extreme that hasn’t happened in long while. It was a combination of Spending all day trapped on campus with limited time to relax or socialise, and then again I suppose I am a third year student. The sheer volume of work on at the moment is ridiculous to the point that I can’t even think about my major project with all the other work currently on.

This is where Eddie izzard came in, Last night i watched the final part of Eddie izzards endurance challenge for comic relief and was amazed and motivated by it. For the past few days I have been on campus pretty much all day long doing various coursework and it was driving me insane.

I know it’s only a month and a bit now till I finish my degree but I really have lost all interest in my education and studies, I would much rather be more proactively involved in work or LGBT issues. Watching Eddie run 1132.05 Miles in 51days was inspiring. It made me think that if he can do that with all the physical, emotional fatigue and stress for not himself but others around the country, I can survive the final few months of my degree. Watching Eddie complete his run made me slightly emotional purely out of his she determination and drive to do something thought impossible.

Secondly during the few programs about his run he started to open up and talk about various parts of his personal life and it was nice to hear his experience on society and life in regards to being a transvestite. Openly admitted that he had known since he was 5, and that it’s not really a choice, a view which he extends to the LGBT community in general. I hope my parents have been watching and taken note of this.

Overall Eddie’s drive and devotion to a challenge for the people rather than himself, along with his personal life experiences keeps ever increasing my respect for him and I consider him to be one of my role models.
